I voted for the Kirov. I read the The Dictionary of Modern War by Edward Luttwak and Stuart L. Koehl, which is like an encyclopedia for everything to do with the military. Detailed stats, on subs, ships, aircraft, tanks, missiles, ect and their capabilities. I voted for the Kirov. The book was written in 1990, and since then Tico have advanced and the Peter the Great is the only Kirov that is still seaworthy. But as for a 1 on 1 battle, the Kirov would win. The Kirov is classified by the west as a battle cruiser because it has such a powerful array of weapons. The Shipwrecks are supersonics missiles and would spend less time in the interception envelope, and also have much larger warheads than the much slower (and easier to shoot down) Harpoons.

I also tested this with Harpoon 2002. The Harpoon community puts an enormous (near fanatical) amount of work in making sure the data on everything in the game is kept up to date and realistic. The Kirov won every time.
